About the Course Delegates will work in pairs, under the close supervision of a highly-experienced podiatrist injector, administering injections to all of the parts mentioned. The delegates are shown how to find entry sites by traditional landmark techniques, as well as by ultrasound imaging (injection guided procedures) for those who are already familiar with ultrasound imaging or considering introducing it in their practice. Both techniques can stand alone or can be used concurrently or consecutively. The delegates will rotate around cadaver station under the course tutors close direction, practicing sequentially on each cadaver specimen. Each delegate will be able to perform ten injections on the cadaver models to allow the acquisition of comfortable familiarity with the techniques.
